To

The Hon’ble Chief Information Commissioner,

J&K State Information Commission, Jammu,

Sub:  Application  For Seeking Permission for Videography of the Proceeding in the Commission.

Respected Sir,

With due respect,  I would like to submit that my appeals and Complaints are pending with the  Hon’ble State Information Commission. Sir, though having high regards and faith in the esteemed institute of State Information Commission, the appellant cannot even think to doubt the integrity and impartiality of the J&K State Information commission.  But unfortunately due to unavoidable circumstances the appellant is compelled to request your good self to allow him to have Videography of all the proceedings in all his appeals and complaints cases pending with this RTI apex body. 

The appellant, if allowed videography, would further be strengthening the credibility of this esteemed institution, as Right To Information Act is all about to move towards larger transparency. Your good self may kindly refer appeal/complaint made by the appellant to the office of the J&K State Information Commission, having file no. SIC(J)Comp.3^rd Aug,2011,complaint no. 356, dated 16/08/2011 , where the case in the above said Appeal was dismissed /disposed of  by the J&K State Information Commission vide decision No. 07 of SIC/J/Comp/IC ,dated 04/01/2012, without giving any opportunity to the appellant of being heard which is obviously against  natural law of justice  and cannot be expected from the institution which is custodian of the transparency and accountability laws in the state and is responsible for monitoring and implementation of the RTI Act.

However, later the review petition by the appellant to the State Information Commission in his cases was admitted and allowed. Keeping the above mentioned facts in your kind consideration you are requested to allow the appellant to have proceedings of his cases Videographed. he appellant is willing to bear the cost of Videography , if permitted . It is once again humbly submitted that the appellant has utmost good faith on the integrity of the Hon’ble State Information Commission. An earliest reply would be highly appreciated in this regard.

Thanking you,                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                       Your’s faithfully,

Dated: 30/March/2012
